A comparative analysis of organizational commitment of permanent and outsourced employees in Telecom sector of Pakistan

Abstract

For a long period of time in the history of Human Resource Management (HRM), employees have been offered job security and long term career growth in order to keep them motivated and committed to the employee. While doing so, organizations depended on committed employees for their productivity as a result of long term job security and associated benefits. As the time passes by, this relationship between the organization and workers is dissolving off and new kind of employments are being generated including but not limited to part time employee, contractual employees, outsourced employees etc. This new model is being named as “Flexibility Model” according to Bradach (1997). This model includes employments such as temporary employment for tasks which are for a very short period of time to those asking a third party to provide skills and workers. Another type of workers are those called contingent workers. These workers do not have a commitment from the employer’s end for a continuing job.
